commit: https://git.busybox.net/busybox/commit/?id=e4b5ccd13bb59eaaec6aa7f22655cc469f8900a2
branch: https://git.busybox.net/busybox/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

The 'timeout' applet uses parse_duration_str() to obtain its
timeout values.  The default configuration enables float durations.

However, the applet silently ignores fractional seconds.  This
results in unexpected behaviour:

   $ timeout 5.99 sleep 5.1; echo $?
   Terminated
   143

When float durations are enabled ensure that any fractional seconds
are taken into account.
